When a runner is hit by a fair batted ball, the runner is not out and the ball stays live if:
1. the ball has been deflected by a defensive player
2. the runner is directly behind a fielder and no other fielder has a play on the ball
3. a fielder could have played the ball but chose not to
There are probably others, but I can't think of any right now.
